Getting this wedding planned is a hassle! Seems like the closer it gets the more we have to do

I'm gonna try to make the next cars and coffee...didn't even realize it until a couple weeks ago but I'm like 2 miles away

Congrats on the house man it's beautiful! I know you guys are excited to be living there finally! I'm already starting to look around and get ideas on what Victoria and I want and where we may want to buy one.

Eric, touching story bro! I've been following it here on Azine and IG. It was cool to see you connect with people that touched your lives forever.

Tyler....ummm....yeah...call me if you need a babysitter again for them pets you've got

Everyone else, sup

What's going on, Alex?

Should make the next C&C since our inventory has been moved (for now) to October 1st.

Once again I'll be out of town during C&C. I'm not pleased

We all need to get together for a GoPro karting day or something.

Jack! Not much besides the wedding man. Car is still stock, pushing 11K miles

Hope you are doing good too. How's the Charger? I know you got some mods but not sure if you did wheels yet?

If I go wash the is300 tonight then it will storm tomorrow. I think she has hurt feelings because I haven't washed her in a month and the AC stopped working yesterday. She does that whenever she has hurt feelings.

I need some help. My brain is fried and I am trying to figure out what wheels I want to run.

I would prefer:

Fronts- 19x9 or 19x9.5 3" Lip
Rears- 19x10 or 19x10.5 3.5" or 4" Lip

Offset is still undecided.

Hard part I am figuring out is the Offset and Lip size to run to make it fit.

The Chart below indicates the wheel specs to the left, lip size in MM and the offset in the lower sections.

The lip sizes in Inches:
29mm - 1.14"
41mm - 1.61"
54mm - 2.12"
67mm - 2.64"
80mm - 3.15"
92mm - 3.62"
105mm - 4.13"
118mm - 4.65"
130mm - 5.12"
156mm - 6.14"
169mm - 6.65"



My brain is fried from thinking, I just need to be double checked on what I think is what I am looking for.

Front: 19x9.5 +15 with a 80mm Lip
Rear: 19x10.5 +10 with a 105mm Lip

I have been using these calculators:
http://www.willtheyfit.com/
http://www.klutchrepublik.com/kalculator

Tires sizes:
Front - 225/35R19
Rear - 235/35R19

Camber specs:
0~1.5° Up front
2.5~4° In the Rear.

The front wheels are the driving wheels, they will wear the fastest, so minimal camber.

Also, I wont be sharing what wheel it is until the specs are figured out and I am close to purchase!

Thanks Guys!

Maybe the new NSX will actually be a supercar after all. It appears to burn like one.

Stephen, those are pretty damn aggressive specs. Are you sure you want to go down that road?

Also, based on the chart and your desired lip sizes, you'll be getting:

19x9.5 with offsets of either +28, +19, +12, or +3.
19x10.5 with offsets of either +15, +6, -1, or -10.

Before wheels, you'll still need coilovers, UCAs, and rear camber arms. Pair that up with paint and PDR work you and I have discussed, that's a lot of money.

I wanna recreate the last photo with a black CCI sticker on the car. The white is too much of a blemish in the photos.

Idk what it was but it was quite nice for those photos.

Also on a camera note, cleaning out a closet at my girlfriends place, found a 6.5-7 Foot Tall Aluminum Camera Tripod that feels like it was built for military battle. Thing is amazing. I plan to use it for overhead shots like this one, just at a higher angle.

I never thought there was anything wrong with the pavement on Johnston rd but they're resurfacing it. Avoid it if you can.

Weddings are crazy, there's so much to do, even if it's a simple one.

LOL I just passed 8,500.

Busy the last few months, but good. The Charger's great...I absolutely love driving it. No wheels yet, though. This year was supposed to be suspension, but some other things killed the mod money for the year . Still working on what I'm going to do to salvage Year Two with regards to mods; I can't just do nothing .

I saw that. Sucks cause sometimes a drive like a race car driver on that street sometimes pushing 60 +/- mph looping it several times.

So I had a very special visit from Santa's Summer time helper... he drives a brown truck instead of the red sleigh... He brought me this stuff...





Got it all for a great price! Really happy, spanner wrenches are on their way, or I might need to borrow yours Tyler.

I am so happy and excited...
